This achievement is missable particularly is going for the maxed all tracks achievement.

**I CAN CONFIRM DLC TONICS COUNT TOWARDS THE TOTAL. The achievement unlocked for me in at the end of Apollo Square and there were still 4 to collect from Point Prometheus. This also occurred in the original however I thought they may have fixed it on this game, but clearly they haven't, So you have a leeway of 4 **

Managing your resources of ADAM is essential. You will only get a certain amount of ADAM in one playthrough which can be spent on other things. Try not to buy any Plasmid upgrades, Health upgrades or Eve upgrades until you have this achievement and the maxed all tracks achievement.

There are 21 Little Sisters and you get 80 ADAM for each one you rescue. You get an additional 200 ADAM each time you rescue 3 Little Sisters. That is a maximum of 3080 ADAM and you need 1360 ADAM just to buy the 16 slots required for maxed all tracks achievement.

Tonics are acquired in various way:

-9 are earned as Research rewards (Using Camera on subject)-8 can be bought from Gatherers Gardens-3 can be Invented at U-Invent-3 are earned as Gifts for rescuing Little Sisters (you need all 18 to be saved)-the other 30 are scattered throughout the whole game (check if you got them all before leaving a level to minimize backtracking)
